Machado Misses Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony as Institute Cites 'Extremely Dangerous' Journey

Venezuelan restrictions on her movement kept her from attending, prompting her daughter to represent her at the Oslo event.

Overview

  • The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was held in Oslo on December 10 without laureate María Corina Machado present.
  • The Nobel Institute said she is on an "extremely dangerous journey" and is expected to arrive in Oslo later, though not in time for the event.
  • The Institute did not provide an arrival time and its director told NRK, as reported by Reuters, that she is not in Norway and her location is unknown.
  • Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, attended the ceremony on her behalf and delivered her remarks.
  • Machado, a leading Venezuelan opposition figure, has been barred from foreign travel and has been living in hiding for safety.
